- IDENTIFIED AS BRIGHAM YOUNG.
The old man told the story with sin
cerity that warranted further investiga-
ton, and a merchant who formerly did
business in Salt Lake drove out to the
mansion yesterday and raped at the
door. Receiving No response, he started
around the house TO apply at the rear,
when through The long window be saw
the form and features of the old man,
who was sitting inside. AS he was
unaware of his presence; the merchant
approached to within a few feet of the
window, scanning the old mans face
closely, and stepping back Immediately,
pronounced tie man to be Brigham
Young, whose marked features he had
often studied in Salt Lake City, and
which once seen, he says, can never be
forgotten. For few moments the man
sat silently, and then raised his hand TO
his brow, revealing the scar about the
wrist that still further established
identity. 1t is we'll known fact that
the elders of the Mormon church
throughout Utah and Arizona, have of
late, been preaching the return of, the
prophet. This, together with the fact
that it was claimed by st. Louis man
some months ago, that Young was seen
aud recognized in London, that mum.
Der of prominent Mormons from Salt
Lake City have lately been upon the
streets Of Lincoln; that important legis.
lation is about to be enacted to the detri.
ment of the Mormon church, and the
veil of mystery with which the prophets
death has always been shrouded, makes
it almost certain that the Mormon ban.
ners throughout Utah will soon be
unfurled, announcing that the "he is
risen."

THE DUTIES OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The spartanburg correspondent Of the
Neaps and Courier saws

81 . !
While the voters in several of the
counties are calling on their representa-
tives to rise and explain, the sovereigns
of our county are, to all appearances,
satisfied with their representatives. They
had confidence in their integrity when
elected and they believe that they have
been faithful stewards. While the peo.
pie have right to demand of THAR
leaders explanations of their official
conduct, it does seem to be foolish
thing that some one, signing himself
5"S'Voter, ~" Hor Populi," or something Of
the sort, should, in his individual
capacity, call on a whole delegation to
render an account of their votes and
work. Itis child's play, to say the least
sof it. All the constituents have right
to demand are honesty Of purpose, an
upright course of action, and constant
attention 10 business; but the individual,
or afractious meeting, has no right to
demand the explanation of particular
vote or recommendation. While the
legislator is q servant of the people, he is
not the abject slave of every man who;
has q little vote. Ifa Representative has
! to spend four weeks in Columbia making
or unmaking laws, OF striving to keep
Others from making or marring laws, and
then spend the other forty eight weeks
of the year explaining the work of those
four weeks, there would be few worthy
candidates for the Legislature hereafter.
The correspondent has expressed him.
self very clearly and forcefully upon this
subject, and yet we are inclined to to
think that representative should always
be willing to give his reasons for his
public acts to any voter who respectfully
calls for them. It may be little
troublesome, but in the end it will prove
beneficial, both to representatives and
their constituencies. OF course these
remarks apply only to such matters as in
yolve principle or affect the people in
their operation, for as to others, the peo-
pile have no right 10 call upon represen-
tative. The fact taat man is repre-.
sentative does not give the people the
rightto question his views upon general
matters more than any other citizen. 1t
is only his acts as representative, or
that affect his conduct as representa-.
tive, which one should be called upon 10
answer. The correspondent, however, is
timely and correct in asserting the inde-
pendence of representatives, and the
courtesy that is due them.

Mysterious Stranger.

LINCOLN, Neb, january 30-=-Two
miles south of this city, stands palatial
residence owned by an English gentle.
man long identified with the Mormon
church. The residence has been unat-
tended for the last two years, save by an
old servant named White, who was con-
nected with the Jezrels of London, a sect
similar to the Mormons. White claims
that he was defrauded by them out of his
property, and latterly became converted
TO the Mormon faith. he was considered
Trustworthy man, and, was therefore,
partially through necessity, taken into
the confidence of the leaders of the Nor
mon church of Zion, which, according to
his statement, is about to perpetrate a
fraud 20 which he is unwilling to become
q party. He says:
THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER.
Two months ago there arrived at the
mansion an old gentleman, bearing let.
ters from my master in London, the pur-
port of which was to obey every wish,
and to keep his presence secret to all
except those 70 whom he saw fit to reveal
himself. Within week persons began
to arrive at the house in twos and threes.
They were from Salt Lake City, and held
long, whispered consultations with my
mysterious guest.
At first I did not care who or what he
was. Little by little j. gathered from
stray remarks that be was person of
note, and soon after the truth burst upon
me that he was none other than Brigham
Young, the great prophet Of our church,
who is apsasently to be resurrected from
the dead, Ynd preach. to the people of
Zion as one having returned from the
grave to tell what lies beyond. That his
death and burial were a deception will
soon be seen by the whole world, while
thousands Of his ignorant believers bow
at his feet, and be dictates to them their
ways of life.
My guests, the visitors are men of high
standing, as their appearance indicates,
and it was in conversation with one of
them, who supposed from the way ]
talked that I knew all, that my suspi-
cions were verified. My informant said
that Brigham Young had risen from his
grave in Salt Lake City, and vas
instructing his disciples here, in order to
prepare help for the great event of the
coming. My only reason for telling these
facts is that am an old man with but
little to gain in this world, and do not
want to see the people deluded as have
been. The Zezrels absorbed my compe-
tence and now the Mormons have broken
nv faith.

The average yield, as shown by the
reports before me, was less than half a
bale per acre in the two States.
1t may be urged that the figures SUBJ
mitted are not an impartial statement Of
facts. Granted that, for various reasons,
(among them the indisposition of our
farmers to give information as to their
crops), the statements are exaggerated
and that the yield is better than reported,
the fact remains that our system of farm
ing must be reyolutionized ere We can
expect to reap the rich rewards which
fertile soil and salubrious climate hold
subject to methods to which the few have
wisely resorted, but which the majority
despise and reject.
Farmers are now arranging for sup.
ply of guano for the year upon which we
have entered. Usually two hundred
pounds of 8 commercial fertilizer is
applied to an acre, and satisfactory
results expected. With favorable sea-
SONS, close cultivation, good results will
be forthcoming. A more liberal use Of
guano, with the necessary accompani-
ments referred to, would produce larger
crops.
North, where farmers buy stable ma.
nure in the cities, seventy to eighty tons
are applied to each acre cultivated by
truck farmers. What would be thought
of man In Georgia or South Carolina
who should indulge in euch "wanton
waste ?" Here, as rule, a load of pine
straw will command one.horse wagon
load of manure FROM stable or COW lot in
town and city. Tho intensive system is,
therefore, possible to almost every far
mer. How many tillers of the soil will
